Washable Workwear Wednesday: Sleeveless Ponté Sheath Dress

This is our second Lands’ End pick in a row — last week we posted the red knit surplice dress. This pretty flocked floral print comes in black and a royal purple and it just looks really pretty — the Lands’ End ponte sheath dress has always been a reader favorite. I think this seems distinguished and interesting without being too fancy, but I do think it’ll be a good dress for the party season. It’s machine washable and available in regular, petite, plus, and tall sizes — we’re picturing it in the plus-size version. The dress is $89-$99 at Lands’ End. Sleeveless Ponté Sheath Dress P.S. There are a number of styles in this pretty flocked floral pattern. Looking for other washable workwear?
